Today, we have taken our time to get you the 10 most scary places on this planet. You may have heard many of them but it will be nice if you read to the end and maybe you might find one that you’ll want to visit


10. Gomantong Caves, Borneo, Malaysia

The Gomantong Caves in Malaysia are geographical wonders, with limestone walls reaching up to 300 feet in some spots, but visitors often leave the site describing it as one of the most disgusting wildlife experiences they’ve ever had.

Gomantong is home to more than two million bats, which leads to impossibly thick layers of guano (otherwise known as bat poop) covering the ground. And don’t even think about slipping, because the handrails are just as filthy as the floor. If you can make it through the river of bat droppings, you’ll then encounter several million Malaysian cockroaches scurrying around. Wherever the guano is, that’s where the cockroaches will be.

Finally, if you get past the bat smells and cockroaches crawling up your legs, there are several other wonderful creatures you just might happen upon, including snakes, scorpions, freshwater crabs, and the infamous giant scutigera centipedes—poisonous critters that are at least three inches long.


9. Christ of the Abyss, San Fruttuoso, Italy
Although there are several versions of the same Jesus statue scattered around the ocean floor, the original version is located in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of San Fruttuoso. The eight-foot-tall likeness was commissioned by Italian diver Duilio Marcante in 1954. Marcante wanted to place some sort of memorial at the exact spot where his friend Dario Gonzatti died while diving a few years prior. And thus, Christ of the Abyss was born. The result is vaguely spooky, especially with the deity’s outreached arms and upward gaze. The algae and corrosion only add to the effect, although the statue was removed from its watery home in 2003 for some much-needed restoration.

It would be nice making a dive to take a selfie with underwater Jesus
